TAS Design provides architecture services throughout Southwest Roanoke, Virginia. We work with homeowners and small developers in neighborhoods like Raleigh Court, Grandin Court, Old Southwest, and Mountain View to design additions, renovations, accessory buildings, and custom homes. Our goal is to blend historic character with modern function so Southwest Roanoke homes feel timeless, bright, and easy to live in.

Southwest Roanoke is home to some of the city’s most notable early-20th-century neighborhoods. Old Southwest includes one of Roanoke’s largest historic districts, with streets of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow, and American Foursquare homes built mostly between the 1880s and 1930s. Nearby Raleigh Court and the Grandin Road Commercial Historic District (Grandin Village) add streetcar-era charm and a compact, walkable center. Designing here often means respecting established rooflines, porches, window proportions, and original trim while upgrading layouts and systems.
At the heart of Southwest is Grandin Village, a National Register–listed district centered on Grandin Road and Memorial Avenue. You’ll find independent shops, dining, and the restored Grandin Theatre (1932), plus Roanoke-famous stops like Black Dog Salvage a short hop away. These landmarks set a strong vernacular style—warm materials, traditional details, human-scale storefronts—that we echo in residential additions and new builds.


Our team handles full architectural services tailored to historic neighborhoods: site study, schematic design, permitting, construction documents, and coordination with your builder. In Southwest Roanoke, typical projects include kitchen and bath reconfigurations in older houses, rear or side additions that match original roof pitches and eaves, attic and basement conversions, and accessory structures that feel like they “belong” on the lot. In and around the Southwest Historic District, we’re careful with materials, massing, and elevations to keep projects compliant and context-appropriate


Working here means balancing history with modern life. TAS Design knows the details that define Old Southwest and Raleigh Court, understands how historic-district guidelines influence design, and plans for sunlight, shade trees, and outdoor connections. We produce clear, buildable drawings so contractors can price and schedule accurately, and we keep communication simple from first sketch to final walk-through. From the streets around Grandin Village to quiet blocks near Wasena Park, we help Southwest Roanoke residents imagine, design, and bring their dream spaces to life.
Commonly cited areas include Raleigh Court, Grandin Court, Old Southwest, and Mountain View, with Grandin Village as a commercial/cultural hub. Boundaries vary by source but generally cover southwest of downtown along Grandin Road and adjacent streets.
You’ll see Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow, and American Foursquare homes from the late-19th and early-20th centuries, especially in Old Southwest and the broader Southwest Historic District.
Yes. Portions of Southwest fall within the Southwest Historic District. Projects there may need to follow guidance on roof forms, windows, porches, siding, and site features. We design with those requirements in mind and coordinate through permitting as needed.
Many residents enjoy being walkable to Grandin Village and the Grandin Theatre, with Wasena Park, River’s Edge Park, and the Roanoke River Greenway close by for daily recreation. Black Dog Salvage is another popular stop for home inspiration.
